Grenke Chess Classic

Grenke Chess Classic is an elite chess tournament held in the German cities of Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden and sponsored by Grenke Leasing. It has been held annually since 2013, with the exception of 2016.[1]

Arkadij Naiditsch, the highest-rated German chess player won the 2014 edition of Grenke Chess Classic ahead of David Baramidze.[3] This edition was not a supertournament, and was a national competition: all eight participants came from Germany. It was a single round robin, and two spots were provided for the players to win entry into the next edition of 2015.
